Should I get married?
Wow, well, the simple answer is that if you are reading this article then you SHOULD NOT get married. The reason being that you really need to be 100% committed before you get married. If you are looking for advice on the subject then you probably aren’t ready to get married.

Marriage is a huge commitment. Make sure you are truly in love and will to commit the rest of your lives together. You’ll be sharing everything you own so make sure to discuss issues like money and kids before hand. If either one of you already has children, the other needs to be willing to be as much a parent to that child as you are.
You need to make sure you are discussing all of your feelings with each other. A marriage based on only telling half the story isn’t going to work out. You need to make sure that if there is something you want changed that you bring it up before you get married. Also, be aware that while you are in love prior to getting married that you almost have a blanket over your eyes. Things that are cute and funny before you are married quickly turn into annoyances.
If you are questioning your decision to get married than you are most likely not ready. You should know for sure when you are in love that you want to marry this person. For example, I knew about 6 months after I met my wife that I was going to marry her even though we didn’t get married for 5 years after that. We’ve been happily married for a long, long time since then without ever mentioning the “D” word.
The most simple answer to the “Should I Get Married” question is that if you are committed to keep working on the relationship for the next 10, 25 or 50 years, then go for it. Just make sure that you are jumping in with both your head and your heart and you’ll have a fantastic marriage.
